When you first find out you are pregnant, you tend to go a bit over board with all the gadgets, gifts, and accessories you can think of ever needing for baby. Of course when bringing a new life into the world you think you need to give them everything available and be prepared for any and I mean ANY situation.

What you don't realize as an inexperienced parent is that most of it is a waste of some sort - time, effort, and especially money! The thing is no one is going to really tell you any different until you go through it once yourself. We tend to think that because each child is different as are the parenting opinions of each other, that we might know better what "Our Own" child needs. Plus there are lists available at every baby store which tells you what you need and in reality its what they want you to need and buy.

One of the first few things I can promise will be on your baby must-have list will be a stroller. The thing that can be confusing AND misleading about this is that there are tons of options available in a wide price range. Now as with anything you are obviously going to get the quality you pay for BUT what if you can get more than what you pay for?!

I was recently asked to attend the Graco Stroller Event in Atlanta, GA to preview and learn all about their new FastAction™ Fold Jogger Click Connect™ Stroller. I could not have been more excited to learn about this ultimate stroller. Not only have I owned all Graco products through both of my boys and loved them but I have grown to count on the quality and ingenuity of this company.

Last Summer, I even attended Graco's premiering event showcasing the Graco SnugRide Click Connect™ 35 Infant Car Seat which is where I first fell in love with all the possibilities of the Click Connect. The FastAction™ Fold Jogger Click Connect™ Stroller allows for comfortable multi-position reclining seating as well as a convertible 3 or 5-point harness and is compatible with all Click Connect™ car seats.

With the FastAction one-second single step fold, just about anyone can quickly set this stroller up OR break it down even while still holding baby! There is an extra-large storage basket for diaper bags or picnic items and thanks to modern technology a smartphone cradle for grownups.

The stroller seat is padded and includes a child’s tray with two cup holders which completely removes for easy cleaning. There is also a tray for mom and dad as well with covered storage and two deep cup holders

My favorite benefit of this stroller is the large air-filled rubber tires and lockable front swivel wheel which make this stroller great for post partum fitness activities! It easily transitions from cement to gravel without disturbing a potentially sleeping baby. This was actually the way we got our boys to fall asleep most evenings and now I can get a bit of fitness in while doing so. There are also reflectors for low-light visibility for dusk or dawn sunlight like this!

Cost/Available to Purchase: $299.99 FastAction™ Fold Jogger Click Connect™ Stroller and Carseat
Recommendation: To be honest I don't know what more I could say that I haven't already about this company. I can tell you that I am a very loyal person when it comes to brands I love and this is one of them. I thing the price is beyond reasonable for something of this nature and I cannot begin to tell you how easy it is to use.
